You will not back pay . Her new visa will be a different type . "Wife of a student" . It's on the new visa that you will be applying for bituach le'umi.
Thanks so much! I didn't think they would let her get a new visa...

PSA for anyone who needs a student visa:

If you don't want to wait for months to get an appointment at the Misrad Hapnim, take note...

There's a new Misrad Hapnim office in Har Choma (southern Jerusalem, near Gilo), located at Eliyahu Koren 25 (https://goo.gl/maps/Vk9mC7CtK2T2). As of now, they are allowing people to come - without an appointment! - between 8 and 10 AM, any day of the week except Wednesday. So if you need a visa in a hurry, go before they change the rules...
Thanks for this PSA. Highly recommended!

I hope someone can help me with this: My daughter was born in Israel, and we renounced her citizenship at the Misrad Hapnim, but I can't find the paper I think they gave us. What can/should I do now, living in U.S., and she is traveling to Israel? She will eed to get a student visa there, but she doesn't have that paper, so the seminary doesn't want to deal with it. I was told that I need to go to the Israeli consulate in Manhattan. Anyone have experience with this? PM welcome. Thanks.

I've never heard of anyone needing the paper lmaisa.  The Misrad Hapnim themselves tell you it's unnecessary (up to you to believe them).

Me too, but not much of a sample...
Also, the fact is that the sem refuses to deal with it w/o the paper...

No such thing . The sem is nervous over  nothing.

You may have misunderstood me. My point is not to prove anything from the sem's nervousness, rather that w/o the paper the sem refuses to get the visa for her, so what am I supposed to do?

I understood you completely. My point above was that they are wrong. Ask them why they won't do it and do they have any specific reason not to.

Can someone fill me in on what exactly an American girl (U.S. citizen, born in EY, renounced citizenship, does not have that paper) would need to bring/do to get a student visa? Where should she go? When? Is there, by any chance, somewhere online with this info?
Thanks a lot.

Forget about the fact she was born in Israel, it's irrelevant.
You bring your passport and letter from school to misrad hapnim (after getting an appointment).  That's it. 
If the school is doing it for all the girls, do it with them.  There is nothing special about your daughter vs any other usa-born american.

Halevai they would do it for her, but it seems like they won't. Any info re when & where to get appt.? Thanks.
You didn't mention passport pics. The wiki says that. Not necessary?

Thanks!
A few questions:
1 - "Passport of every household member": How does that apply to a single person studying there? I assume she does not need PPs of her parents in USA.
2 - Proof of student enrollment is easy enough (I hope!). How does she get proof of Yahadus? Does the school give that?
3 - Is this still accurate/recommended?
"If you don't want to wait for months to get an appointment at the Misrad Hapnim, take note... There's a new Misrad Hapnim office in Har Choma... As of now, they are allowing people to come - without an appointment! - between 8 and 10 AM, any day of the week except Wednesday.

1. Correct, no need for anyone other than herself.
2. School letter should also say that she is Jewish.  Standard procedure.
3. Yes
